Description
Summary:Philosophy of culture is deeply renewed by Michel Foucault’s philosophy of norms with regard to principal postulates which command it since XVIIIth century. One could see he introduced a theory of immanent production of norms. The matter is to put this hypothesis to the test of a vitalist comprehension of positivity of norms, which assigns this positivity to a vital strength that creates new possibilities of life and new «allures de vie». How could we articulate the perspective of an immanent process of production with the perspective of creation and newness ? This is a way for a vitalist naturalism that is able to give to possibilities of life ontological consistency, practical effectivity, and axiological and epistemological priority. In this context, one tries to appreciate in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze several terminological and conceptual changes in comparison with Foucault : from possible to potential, from strategy to problematic, from genealogy to geology, from history to becomings.
